Note: Some folks like to share their guesses for all of the questions, but in order to submit this form, only your initials (the first question) and a guess on the last question are necessary.

For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but doing so is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - Little is agreed upon when it comes to the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (sometimes called the Battle of Châlons)—the battle’s name, where it was fought, why it was fought, and who won the battle are all subject to debate. Two points that are not generally disputed are that the battle was fought in the year 451 AD, and that it entailed the Romans and Visigoths fighting against an invading force led by WHAT king?

Question #2 - “Here Odo the bishop holding a club strengthens the boys” is the English translation of a phrase written in Latin on WHAT object, likely commissioned by Odo, that portrays his whereabouts on October 14, 1066?

Question #3 - WHAT is the signature attack of the character Goku from the Dragon Ball manga and its associated media franchise? The attack, a concussive energy beam, takes its name from a person born around 1758 who is one of the 99 individuals today portrayed with a statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C.

Question #4 - NAME the author who passed away on April 21, 1910 and who is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira, New York. His grave is, appropriately enough, marked by a monument that is twelve feet high (or two fathoms).

Question #5 - NAME the Italian painter from the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries who is notable for his frescoes, including those in the Scrovegni Chapel (also called the Arena Chapel) in Padua; he was also the namesake to the European Space Agency’s contribution to a 1986 mission.

Question #6 - NAME the commonality shared by, among many others, Samuel Barber, Thomas Burberry, Andrew Carnegie, Emilia Clarke, Fanny Eaton, Megan Fox, Kit Harington, John Harvard, Akira Kurosawa, Shia LaBeouf, Leopold II, James Monroe, Mother Teresa, Rafael Nadal, Horatio Nelson, Ashley Olsen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Django Reinhardt, and Maximilien Robespierre. (Note: A particular two-word answer is sufficient.) *
